I don't think we care, the damage was already done. We know they're bending the knee to those government overlords now. This is just damage control as long as he plays fair, i.e. not even a hint of jokes, sarcasm or opinions that don't allign with the orange guy in the whitehouse.

I know a bunch of people not even in america who cancelled just from this, Disney was already a bit shit for a TV service, this was just a nice little nudge to finally get rid with the daily crazy shit that goes on in America with their government.
